"A collaborative effort between a New Testament scholar (Ascough)
and an expert in management theory (Cotton), this book takes a
fresh angle on Paul. The authors are convinced that Paul
exemplifies the kind of leadership style that many modern
corporations are seeking in their own leaders, one that is less
hierarchical and more what they call 'chaordic, ' that is
leadership that gives more free rein to invention and on-the-ground
initiative (= chaos) an yet also channels such creativity into
order. The authors examine key passages in Paul's letters where
they believe such leadership skill is on display, giving an
exposition of the passage on its own terms and then reflecting on
how it relates to issues of leadership. Readers will find this a
refreshing and novel way of appreciating Paul's relationship to his
communities."
--The Bible Today
"This is an intelligent as well as compassionate look at modern
leadership. It draws from an impressive litany of thoughtful books
on leadership, as well as Paul'''''s writing, to provide a better
understanding of the apostle and an ethos for approaching modern
management."
--"Globe and Mail"
